Fellow EMU Art professor Jennifer Locke roped me into assisting her and several others to make a short film for the the 48hr Film Project. Above is our entry for festival. Each group was given a different film genre, ours was comedy. Every group had to incorporate the character Liam or Leanne Butler, a painter, the prop of a book, and the line “why don’t you explain it to me.” If you live in a city that is hosting this event, I recommend you give it a shot, it was good fun.
